THE WORD AS A SIGNIFIER, SIGNIFIANCE AND SIGNIFICATION IN THE PROTO-ARCHAIC AND ARCHAIC CULTURES

Summary/Abstract: The world of myth offers archaic man "an inventory of human possibilities" expressing the constructive intentions of the human being, materialized in signs and symbols and words of ritual-magical significance. They acquire an unity that will keep them just because the common element, the myth, does not permeate, it is contemporary with humanity, has a rich content of significance because it is not: "a simple primitive coat of the idea." We will never be able to understand the totality of the meanings that the myths and symbols of the archaic world have, unless we engage with our entire will, to understand the archaic world as a world still alive and present and word. Preliminary work would like to highlight these few aspects.
